HDX HAPI: Standardized Poverty Rate Indicators for Humanitarian Response

Giving access to standardized poverty rate indicators sourced from the HDX Humanitarian API (HAPI) to support humanitarian decision-making. Managed by HDX Humanitarian API Data, the collection integrates poverty metrics with HXL tags for cross-sectoral interoperability as of March 2026. The data is formatted specifically for automated workflows and multi-source visualization.

Use Cases

• Building automated dashboards for food security monitoring via the HAPI framework

Strengths

• Standardized HXL (Humanitarian Exchange Language) tagging for interoperability
• API-driven data sourcing designed for automated humanitarian workflows
• Integration of poverty, nutrition, and food security indicators in a single framework

Limitations

• Missing metadata regarding specific column names and row counts
• Potential for data gaps in conflict-affected or remote regions typical of humanitarian reporting
